			<h1>Technical</h1>
			<p>The site is a light-weight <a href="http://nodejs.org/">node.js</a> front-end to <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/boise">Flickr</a> hosted on <a href="https://www.appfog.com/">appfog</a> with a caching layer at <a href="http://redis-cloud.com/">Redis Cloud</a>. The writing is embedded in the images as captions which come through the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/services/api/">Flickr API</a> and some regex to make it pretty.</p>
			<p>The map overview and links are generated automatically from the coordinates also embedded in the images. Basically, I press the &ldquo;<a href="http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/flickr">publish</a>&rdquo; button in <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html">Lightroom</a> and the stuff appears here, nice and neat.</p>

	<p>&ldquo;Stories and images of small adventure trips in and around the state of Idaho.&rdquo; That’s it in a nutshell.</p>
	<p>The capacity for natural places formed by forces awesome in power or abiding subtlety to mend the mind has been often extolled by poets and writers.</p>
	<p>There we are confronted by the old merism of what matters, truth and beauty. Not caricatures, talking points or trophies, amplified and garish, but a quiet reminder of the significance and insignificance of things.</p>
	<p>It is this I wish to relay through the small truths of history or geology that come to hand while developing images to match, I hope, what you would have seen had you stood by when I took them.</p>
